Complex

Non-primitive types. This category contains the following types:

Array

Array type. For example:

char buf[1024];   
      // buf is Variable of Type Array or Type char.

Builtin

Non-primitive type builtin for a given compiler.

Class

User-defined class type. For example:

class Foo { }; // class

Enum

User-defined enum type. For example:

enum E { }; //Enum type

Function

Function type. Used for function pointers. For example:

void foo(void (*ptr)(int)) {   // ptr is Pointer of Type Function
    ptr(3);
}

Reference

Reference type. Used for passing by reference. For example:

void func(int &i) {  // i is Parameter of Type Reference to Type int
   i = 3;
}

struct

Struct type. For example:

struct Foo { }; // struct

Template Parameter

A template parameter in template class declaration. For example:

template <typename T> class Temp{}; // Template Parameter: T

Typedef

Typedef type. For example:

typedef int INT;
INT x;            
      // x is Variable of Type Typedef to Type int.

Union

Union type. For example":

union MyUnion {   // union
    int x;
    char *y;
};

Primitive

All primitive types. This category contains the following types:

bool

Primitive type bool. For example:

bool b; // b is Variable of Type bool

char

Primitive type char. For example:

char c; // c is Variable of Type char

double

Primitive type double. For example:

double d; // d is Variable of Type double

float

Primitive type float. For example:

float f; // f is Variable of Type float

int

Primitive type int. For example:

int i; // i is Variable of Type int

long

Primitive type long. For example:

long x; // x is Variable of Type long

long double

Primitive type long double. For example:

long double d; // d is Variable of Type long double

pointer

Pointer type. For example:

char * name; 
 // name is Variable of Type pointer to type char.

short

Primitive type short. For example:

short x; // x is Variable of Type short

void

Primitive type void. Used for void pointers. For example:

void * p; 
 // p is Variable of Type pointer to type void.

wchar_t

Primitive type wchar_t. For example:

wchar_t c; // c is Variable of Type wchar_t

std::nullptr_t

The type of pointer literal. Example:

decltype(nullptr) t; // variable of std::nullptr_t type
